BERTHE AND FRANCESCA BRAGGIOTTI, by                    
First Line: Like the breath spirituelle of spring
Last Line: And terpsichore discloses.
Subject(s): Florence, Italy


Like the breath spirituelle of spring --
Wafting two Florentine roses
Down moon-laved white parterres
To April's winged airs --
And then -- with lucid swiftness
Like fancy's faery dreams --
Two dryads -- dancing -- seeking --
Where music fond is keeping
Her rarest Pan-piped phrase --

Like the breath spirituelle of spring --
Wafting two Florentine roses
Adown moon-tranced meads --

With delicate gesture they tread the air --
Bounding in arches divinely fair --
Where melody exhales --
Her flute-blown arpeggiare --
And Terpsichore discloses.
